Planting Seeds

We planted a few small pots previously, but this past weekend we got down to business.  A tray for flowers, a pot for  sunflowers (have never tried those before) and a tray plus two large pots of lettuce, peas, basil and chives (all tried and true).  We still have quite a bit of snow out there, however Amelia and I figured we better get the seeds growing so come June we will be ready!  Maybe the snow will be gone by then. :)

We water and check progress daily.  "MOM! THEY ARE GROWING!" shouted each morning..."They need water".  

And so she goes.

During a long nap of Amelia's I made a few garden posts to keep everything well labeled...

and to go along with these heart clips that Amelia put on the pots she painted.

Will post on our progress! 

Besides the planting, we did a morning of all our Little People toys...it was quite the village, complete with zoo, farm, castle and house.  She can amuse herself for hours and the weather in the mornings is still a bit chilly, so we wait til afternoons for our adventures outside (I am not even going to mention that it is snowing AGAIN as I type).

There is usually a dance performance right after breakfast or a garden walk where one needs a hat, gloves, scarf and of course a purse to walk around the house and look at plants and say how beautiful they are.  

Though Sunday was a dance performance.
